A new position paper argues that privacy in machine learning should be treated as an explicit, evidence-based scientific claim rather than an inherent property of synthetic data. The paper highlights that synthetic data is often used in privacy-sensitive contexts without clear articulation of threat models or inference risks, leading to implicit and unverifiable privacy assurances. The authors recommend that machine learning venues adopt norms requiring privacy assertions to be clearly scoped, testable, and contestable. AI
IMPACT Highlights potential gaps in privacy assurances for synthetic data used in ML research, urging for more rigorous and verifiable privacy claims.
